Jukebox PC software installation fails with message "Unable to continue"

  • Symptom:

When installing the software, the following message is shown on the PC screen:

"Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system.  Click OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now.  You will need to restart Windows before you can run setup again.  Click Cancel to exit setup without updating system files."

However, when you click OK to update the system, and then attempt to re-install the software, the same error message is shown again - indicating the system has not been updated.

  • To solve this problem:

We have a new version of our install program which solves many installation issues.  Please return to our store and download the latest version of our software.

Also, this problem happens on Windows XP systems that have not been upgraded with Service Pack 2 from Microsoft.  You can use Windows Update to install the upgrade easily, but it is a big download.  This upgrade is referred to as "critical" by Microsoft, since it includes many important security enhancements.  Microsoft can also mail you a Windows XP SP2 update CD, if the download is too long.

My new custom music CD does not work

  • Symptom:

After burning a new custom CD and inserting it into the player, the CD will not play, and the message "No MP3" is shown on the LCD display.

  • To solve this problem:

Try burning the CD at 2X.  Slower speeds tend to be more accurate.  Also stay with major name brand CD-R's, like Fuji and Verbatim.  No house brands, or blowout deals.  These are often inferior media.
